German handbook on dentistry, capturing a snapshot of the increasing specialization of the field as one distinct from the broader medical and surgical professions. Notably, it shows how European dentistry was moving beyond primarily mechanical tooth extraction toward operative dentistry, dental prosthetics, oral pathology, and preventive care over the course of the 19th century.
